Howie - In BDRA Foster Care


Name: Howie
Sex: Male (not altered)
Breed: Border Collie Mix
Age: 6 weeks
Location: Bradyville, TN

 
Vet/Medical Info: Howie is too young to be tested for HW or to be neutered. He was treated for parasite infestation and given his basic shots. He has some sort of brain injury. If he was born that way he may inprove but if it is due to trauma he will not likely get any better, not enough is known about the dog to say.

Owner Info: Howie was found him in the middle of the highway on 1/15/2012, he was not moving - the people took him to the vet. Howie is blind, the lady that is caring for him does not have a job and wants this little guy to be taken care of. It is suspected Howie may be blind due to head trauma. Not too much is known about this little guy. He eats very well, he is not really stable on his feet. Seems to have some hearing, but not very much. Vet thinks perhaps he has been hit by a car. He has been wormed and had 1st round of vaccinations. He is currently on antibiotics and a steroid which he will finish in 5 days. Howie is currently an outdoor dog in an open space, no fenced in yard. He is not housebroken or leash trained (as most six week old puppies aren't). Howie is good with other small animals.
